Over 50,000 devotees gathered at the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple in Batu Caves to witness the first time that the ceremony( aimed at renewing the power of the temple and deities) was held in Malaysia. (reminds me of recharging battery)
It had been known to be performed only twice before in other parts of the world. The highlight of the ceremony was the Maha Kumbabhisegam prayers conducted by six high priests from India. The priests took the holy water and poured it over the kalasam (domes) at the temple's six main shrines. The holy water was collected from seven rivers in India – the Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, Narmada, Sindhu (also known as Indus), Kaveri and Vaigai – deemed as holy. The priests then sprinkled the holy water and threw flower petals on the devotees. The prayers could only be held once in 12 years and usually after renovation works.
